Orlando Elfrid Payton

[Jasper]

This guy last night all most had a triple double on Orlando as a PG.

Can anyone tell me about the guy ??

Does he have speed, is he a consistent lock down defender ???

Can he run a team well :confusedshrug:

At 6'3" he can't look over typical defenders , but he must have something special ....

A post on ish not about Kobe, Bron, MJ or a Dub? Of course there's no comments :oldlol:

The dude is pretty much what Rondo was in his early years. He's a decent finisher and good playmaker but teams are aware that his outside shooting is very inconsistent so they sag off him immensely. What separates him and Rondo is that Rondo had an extremely high basketball IQ and he was able to place passes right on cue.


He'd have very inflated numbers if he was surrounded by shooters on all cylinders but idk what the Magic are doing right now. The Ibaka trade was pretty stupid, but I don't think Dipo and Payton would've been great in the longrun especially with the transition in to shooting in the league now.

In the right situation he could lead the NBA in assists in his prime years but right now there's serious flaws in his game involving his shooting.

Hustles defensively but elite guards eat him up ,shooting is atrocious passing and playmaking obviously his strong point. Ceiling like stated above is a poor mans rondo. Time to ship his ass out

humm..
if he developed his shot, he could be a bigger weapon on the pass.
But last post stated his defense , is weak , and that doesn't suit well for a legit NBA pg.
We'll keep our eye on him..
